Ta Prohm est la capitale incontestée du royaume des Arbres. Les archéologues n'y ont apporté aucune modification, à l'exception du déblaiement d'un sentier pour les visiteurs et du renforcement des structures pour éviter toute nouvelle détérioration. Grâce à son état naturel, il est possible de ressentir dans ce temple l'émerveillement des premiers explorateurs lorsqu'ils découvrirent ces monuments au milieu du XIXe siècle. Enveloppé dans une jungle dense, le temple de Ta Prohm présente une allure éthérée et évoque une aura romantique. Figuiers, banians et kapokiers étendent leurs racines gigantesques sur les pierres, sondant les murs et les terrasses, tandis que leurs branches et leurs feuilles s'entrelacent pour former un toit au-dessus des structures. Les troncs des arbres s'entrelacent entre les piliers de pierre. Le charme étrange et hanté du lieu vous enveloppe au fur et à mesure de votre progression, aussi inexorable que les racines se sont enroulées autour des murs et des tours.

Banteay Srei or Banteay Srey is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. The detailed carving of the sculptures, lintels, and friezes make it a beautiful structure.

Banteay Srei was built by a Brahmin counsellor to King Rajendravarman at a time when the Khmer Empire was growing in power and territory.

The Bayon Temple, which was constructed during Jayavarman VII's reign, is unique as it is the only Buddhist state temple and the last to be built in the Angkor Empire. These structures are known as "face towers." The bas-relief carvings on the outer walls of the Bayon towers depict heroic historical tales as well as scenes of everyday Khmer life.

“Angkor Thom” is sometimes spelt “Angkor Tom”. The name “Angkor Thom” has been used only after Angkor was not the Khmer capital any more, it means "Angkor Big" or "Capital Great". It was the last capital in the Angkor era. After Jayavarman VII recaptured the Angkorian capital from the Cham invaders and became king in 1181, he began a massive building campaign across the empire, part of it was constructing Angkor Thom as his new fortified capital. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the new capital as his bride.
